Both are pretty much incomparable. The Great Silence in in the same mold as the Leone movies...only set in the mountains and snow, ala Pale Rider. I think Sergio Corbucci did a straight lift from Leone's FAFDM for the whole outlaw angle, and mixed it with a tale of revenge. You ll be reminded of Pale Rider more than once (maybe Eastwood used this for his movie, who knows?). And of course, Ennio Morricone's score is awesome. Overall, you ll love it.
Django is an out-and-out action flick. The pace and the action is relentless. Its like the El Mariachi series, only with more action. Desperado was a shameless rip-off of Django, come to think of it.
My advice...watch both of em. Two great pieces of western cinema, if there ever was one. Ranked next to the Leone trilogy in my book.
